Michael Reilly (buttonman88) | 4 comments Hello

I am delighted to have this opportunity to tell you about my debut novel MISISIPI. It will be of interest to anyone who likes multifaceted mystery-thrillers that are unpredictable and unconventional. If you enjoyed the tangled mystery of 'Gone Girl', the brutal intensity of 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo' or the searing emotion of 'The Time Traveler's Wife', this will be the book for you this summer.

Thanks for taking an interest
Mike

Misisipi by Michael Reilly

When a childhood tragedy and its bloody aftermath catch up with her, a woman's husband must fight the forces from her past, and the impending threat of Hurricane Katrina, to save her.

Scott Jameson is almost relieved when he comes home one night and discovers Julianna has left. It's the inevitable end to the slow disintegration of a once idyllic marriage. He can almost accept it.

Until the discoveries happen - and the questions surface.

What has Julianna really been doing in the cemetery beside their house?

Who is the unfamiliar friend in a secret photograph?

What lies buried in the basement all these years? And why?


Most important - why truly did their relationship falter and can it be put right?

And when Scott sets out for answers, he won't be the only one seeking them; because Julianna is the eye of a storm that's been building for almost twenty-five years. She's drawing them all to her center: Scott, the mysterious man on Scott's tail, and the two arch enemies from her shocking past who caused her to run in the first place, from the city by the sea at the mouth of the river...

New Orleans, where Julianna is going home for the last time.

And Hurricane Katrina is coming for the first.

What others have said about Misisipi

"... a well-paced narrative with a super flow of dialogue, description, and setting. The overall quality of writing is much better than most of the books I've been reading. Terrific style." - Amazon Vine Reviewer, ABNA 2013

"This is one action packed book... turning the pages was easy and the need to find out what exactly was going on increased as the story continued." - Marleen (More Than A Reading Journal Book Review)
